Vee Vee is back! While many, including some local food critics, embraced the Black Cat menu of the last year we did not. The current menu carries over some of the seafood shift of that period (oysters in two versions, lobster roll), and holds onto several of the old standbys (crispy shiitakes, gorditas, butterscotch pudding) it includes some new takes (wedge salad, cast iron mac & cheese, some new sides). We went with the mushrooms, then tuna and cod entrees, and finished with the pudding and were not disappointed. As always the wine and beer offerings were well chosen by owner and barkeep Dan. Kristen was inviting and led the excellent service team. The outdoor patio is one of the best in Boston (altho it was oddly quite noisy on our visit) Let's hope they will continue to thrive in these tough times.
